Poem

I believe that at first
I had a thirst for word
As a child I’d create my own style 
And make up words to popular songs 
Especially when I wanted to sing along
But did not have the vocabulary at age two
By age six I was full of poetic bliss
But only pounding keys on my toy piano
Shouting made up songs as I’d go
Then on a whim of destiny 
I became a victim of rape 
But I had no word for it 
I truly didn’t know what to say
I didn’t understand at age six
That it was a teen and I was just a kid
I saw blood and thought the cool aide 
I drank had simply leaked from me
The pain and shame was like a bad dream
But I did not despair for music was there

Then at age seven ironically
A family member, my father began molesting me 
This time after years I did speak
To my sixth grade teacher who intervened 
But before I could find a way to tell
I used poetry and journalism to excel
My writing was not really the best
But it saved me non the less
So for me music and poetry
Are at the core of my salvation my peace
Years of fears tears and therapy
I am healed and better for it all
Thanks to God and a teacher 
Who inspired me to talk.
